Days of Future Past - Be Not Afraid - J.D. Coughlan

I haven't read the storyline, but as I understand it, Professor X is killed off quite early in this timeline. This is just before those events.

PROFESSOR X: I have tried my whole life to show that such thinking is wrong...

Panel 4: Large. The giant Sentinel looms over Professor X, who now faces it, looking up, in the ruins of the mansion.
